The dinnerware is just as advertised. Microwaving with them is just as expected. I did not concern myself with the cups/mugs as we had plenty with adds and project symbols. To my surprise the ones with the set have become my favorite ones. The dinner and salad plates, soup/cereal bowls have now become our favorites.
The weight and feel of the dinnerware is very good for every-day service. we are very well pleased with this purchase'
